[casual_games] Question of the (approximate) week

[Charlie Jackson]

I definitely think so (and sure hope so!). While the whole free-to-play
system is getting lots of love despite the ads and the pay-for-awesomeness
on the sides for income, I do think that casual games will have a meaningful
market. I do think that it will be even more download-driven than it is now,
and that some creative marketing will go hand-in-hand with it, but I do
think it'll still be there. I'm really hopeful that between apps and games
that have the pay-for-awesomeness built in, in 5 years people will be even
more used to putting their credit card info into a website and spending
their money on downloadable games.
